I enjoyed the first and the direction was done well to where I'm glad Kransinski is in the chair again. However, I'll admit that there's elements that don't hold up well, such as the nail that had no place being where it was.
Curious as to if it's a straight sequel or not to the events of the first.

If you're this averse to spoilers I recommend not putting the burden on other people and instead avoiding threads about a sequel to a movie you don't want to be spoiled on.
Hmm, hope that perfect ending to the first movie isn't ruined.
I kind of liked that the last thing we heard was a very loud, distinct noise everyone would be familiar with and that it left things on an uncertain note. Maybe the second movie could be about a different group?

This seems like a terrible idea. What are they going to do? Go big, like on an international scale? Or basically just do the same thing again but in a different location? Or maybe throw in another one of the five senses, so the monsters both hate noise *and* light (A Dark, Quiet Place)?

I think it would work better as a prequel when people are just figuring out that they should STFU.
Is there a reason it seems like people just have a huge axe to grind with this movie? There are plenty of horror/action films with logical inconsistencies or plot holes, but for some reason I feel like A Quiet Place gets hammered over it all the time, even in threads like this that are ostensibly about the sequel.
It's like if every thread about Lord of the Rings were answered with "Why didn't the eagles just fly the ring to Mordor?"

I've noticed this about both A Quiet Place and Birdbox. Just like you describe, films got hammered and hammered online before I even managed to see either of them. Then when I finally saw both, I still don't understand what fueled all of that nonsense versus any other movie that stretches the imagination a bit to make things 'work'.
Marvel movies always have plotholes and inconsistencies that are completely handwaved away for no apparent reason, and yet it's possible to have threads about them without those inconsistencies becoming the focus of discussion.
I think it's maybe something about horror movies, and people like to imagine how they would have done it better or smarter if they were a character in the film......or horror movies are more expected to conform to certain rules and conventions.
I think people are just unable to fucking relax and enjoy a film without being hypercritical.
I blame YouTube "criticism". Theres this fucking weird and completely obnoxious trend the past 5 years about treating movies like games or puzzles to be solved or "beat". I cannot imagine a less organic, interesting way to watch a movie than to be trying to beat it or work out "plot holes" (subject for another rant - most "plot holes" people whine about arent plot holes at all).
It's the CinemanSins-ation of society and it's awful. A Quiet Place was a wonderful film and when I hear "well its unrealistic because of...." I just feel sad for people.

It's kinda crazy how his 17M horror movie collab with Emily ended up making the same amount of money as his wife's 130M big Disney flick.
